Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Phase Behavior and Metastability in Hybrid Perovskites for Photovoltaic and Photonic Applications
Summary: The PhD candidate will join the Quantum Beams & Sustainable Materials Group at the Materials Physics Center in San Sebastian (Spain). The group primarily uses neutron and X-ray scattering techniques in combination with atomistic modelling to interrogate and understand novel functional media for energy applications and sustainability, in close collaboration with leading international laboratories from around the globe. The primary aim of this project is to explore the properties and phase behavior of hybrid perovskites using these methodologies. In particular, this project is part of wider efforts to understand and ultimately tailor the regimes of stability and metastability of this emerging family of materials as a function of external parameters such as temperature, pressure or chemical environment, as well as to unveil the mechanisms underpinning photovoltaic performance and degradation pathways under physico-chemical conditions of technological relevance. We anticipate that this body of work will pave the way for new and much-needed insights into the primary bottlenecks currently hampering the widespread use of hybrid perovskites in photovoltaic and photonic applications.
